Phase 4 of Wrath of the Lich King introduces the highly sought-after Shadowmourne Icon Shadowmourne legendary weapon. Players must first complete a long, difficult quest chain before they can acquire their own. This guide will give you a step-by-step guide on everything you will need to complete before getting your own!

1.

Shadowmourne Quality of Life Changes

With the release of Phase 4, Blizzard has decided to implement numerous buffs to the acquisition of Shadowmourne Icon Shadowmourne, greatly improving the rate at which players are able to obtain this legendary weapon. These changes can be seen below or read on the original post:

Shadowmourne Quest Chain

Obtaining a Shadowmourne Icon Shadowmourne is not as simple as previous legendary weapons, such as Thori'dal, the Stars' Fury Icon Thori'dal, the Stars' Fury that would simply just drop on boss kill; Shadowmourne Icon Shadowmourne can only be forged by players willing to undergo numerous, difficult raid quests within the walls of Icecrown Citadel itself.

Players must first reach friendly with The Ashen Verdict to be able to start the Shadowmourne Icon Shadowmourne quest chain. This quest is also only available to Death Knights, Paladins, and Warriors. Below you can find the list of required quests that players must complete in order to unlock their very own legendary weapon:

  1. The Sacred and the Corrupt
  2. Shadow's Edge
  3. A Feast of Souls
  4. Unholy Infusion
  5. Blood Infusion
  6. Frost Infusion
  7. The Splintered Throne
  8. Shadowmourne...
  9. The Lich King's Last Stand

It is worth noting that the final quest, The Lich King's Last Stand, is not required to obtain Shadowmourne Icon Shadowmourne; it is meant to be a conclusion to the Arthas story as a whole, and grant players additional lore "Easter eggs" for those brave enough to complete this quest chain.

3.

Shadowmourne Quest Chain Rewards

Aside from the obvious Shadowmourne Icon Shadowmourne that players get from completing this quest chain, the The Lich King's Last Stand quest grants numerous, extremely rare items. As these items can only be obtained by players that have completed the entire Shadowmourne Icon Shadowmourne quest chain above, they will be very rare and highly desirable. Since all of these rewards are bind-on-use, these items are able to be traded to other players, or even sold on the auction house!
